cool. i dun really see any problems with hanging around other mazda brands...there's a common interest at least. but like i said, of course there will just be the occassional young jack-*** with a smart comment. but who cares for those types??? they are usually the ones with the least knowledge of cars to share, or even one worth learning from.

but given how you carry yourself and the right introduction, you will find interesting miata owners...of which some don't even have a 4banger under the hood (shhh! keep it DL).

have fun this meet guys. i unfortunately can't make this wk. holiday chores to do. but if those w/o any plans, feel free to introduce yourself to the CR.net ppl. and try to be the bigger person and go with a welcoming intent...for crying out loud, we only share similar chassis foundation.

 

sidus i will randomly see you on sawtelle sometime

 

woot im here already... im at the starbucks around the corner! everyone come now!

 

me here

 

my efini emblems got jacked.... it could've been from the meet but i just noticed today...

goddamn

 

Efini emblems on the 8 are so rice and they are ugly as hell. Why would you do that to the 8?! That's like poser status.

 

efini is gone man. you might as well get the park bench wing

 

wow.. you two are real haters.. how can you say that efini's are rice and equate them to park benches.... they're for rotary fans now since they are out of production. if they are so rice, why don't ricer civics put them on their cars? those jdm noob green/yellow things are "rice"..

 

plus, ugly is subjective. imho i believe the upside down pringles man oversized mazda emblem on the front is ugly.. the efini looks a hell lot better than that. of course that's just my opinion.

 

Define "rotary fan." The 8 never came with an Efini badge; it's like putting a Lexus badge on a Corolla.

The 7 is a different story, it came with Efini badges.

It's stupid to have an Efini badge on an 8 when they weren't produced by them.

As for the comment "they're for rotary fans," Efini was a division that produced high end cars, not just rotaries but others as well. So saying that it's a "rotary fan" thing is just a pure idiocratic idea.

By the way, I'm glad that your emblems got stolen.

 

ok! sorry my words are so idiocratic.. or maybe you should just call me ignorant of car-related things pre-2000 because i was too young.. the efini is in a rotary shape so you cant blame me

i like the look of it and i believe they look great to me with my ms kit. but it is not in anyway "rice." if im not mistaken, rice is when you put something on your car that makes your car "look" fast or really flashy, but it doesnt go anywhere. ..

 

Exactly, and that's what that emblem is on an 8.

 

was not my intention and i dont think many people know what the efini emblem is anyway.. so how would that fit the definition

 

it would have to be like "oh look its an EFINI OMG SO FAST".. but i doubt anyone says that about the car..

plus everyone knows the rx8 is slow ;]

 

You're now just going in circles, the Efini does not go on an 8. Basically, putting the Efini emblem on the 8 will basically make it a poser.

Efini does not make 8's.

Like I said, it's like putting a Lexus badge on a Corolla. Need a better example?
Here: Acura on a Civic.
Another?
A Scion on a Camry.
Rice? Yes

Same **** with the Efini on an 8.

 

dude. it doesnt matter if its rice to you. it's not rice to many people. everyone i've met said the emblems look good.. they never associate the efini to another line of cars, **** they dont even know what it is! it is not like a camry putting on a scion to "pose" like a really cool mod-able car or acura civic who wants to look higher class because 99% of people dont relate the efini emblem to anything

 

Would you go up to an ugly person and say that he/she's ugly?
No. Not many people would.

Same thing with your emblem.

I, on the other hand, knows no pity, I'd go up to you and say it's ugly and rice.

EDIT: It's still rice.

 

oh would you? you didn't say that to me when i met you.

and now you have nothing to say about the rice comment? because it's not rice right?

and your opinion about why people would say that said the efini was not ugly in front of me is irrelevant to our discussion. we are talking about why it is RICE. RICE doesnt = ugly, rice = what we defined it as above

 

anyway, this could go on forever..

you dislike it and think its rice
i like it because i think it looks good and believe its not rice

/end

 

I haven't seen your emblems. Besides, I haven't been to the last two meets.

 

shut the **** up you low ****
i thought you were cool man
what the hell has gotten into you these passed couple of weeks
just because he has that emblem
gives you no right to say rice

 

i've had them on for a year. and you must've seen them because at the first meet i was one of like 4 cars that arrived first and we were standing there for like 20 min checking out each others cars..

even if you didn't see them, will you admit that they are not rice now? it seems you have as you have not refuted my idea of rice/not rice

 

Then I must've missed the emblems.

It's still rice.

Someone's getting mad. This thread is starting to get fun.

 

oh and i forgot.
seriously
can't call him rice.
he has 3/3 authentic ms kit

 

We're talking about his emblem, not his kit.
